It is already known that tne organic phosphorus series insecticides, organic chlorine series i~secticides and carbamate series inseetieides largely contribute to the prevention of harmful insects. Some of these insecticides however, exhibit a high phytotoxicity so that their residual effects have posed a serious problem in the abnormal eeo-system of the insects. Further, a resistivity to the insecticides has recently become noticed in certain insects such as house flies, planthoppers, leafhoppers, rice borers, etc.
In order to solve these drawbacks of conventional insecticides, an extensive study has been carried out to provide improved inseetieides whieh show high preventative effects at low concentration attributable to a juvenile hormone-like controlling aetivity and, as a result, it has now been found that the oxime ethers (I) of the invention are useful for the control of insects in agricultural fields, forest lands, granaries, stored produets and sanitary facilities, etc.
An insectieide having a juvenile hormone-like controlling activity is available under the trademark "methoprene" (U.S. patents 3,904,662 and 3,912,815). This known insecticide is still not satisfactory.

An insectieide having a juvenile hormone-like controlling activity is available under the trademark "methoprene" (U.S. patents 3,904,662 and 3,912,815). This known insecticide is still not satisfactory.
The oxime ethers (I) of the invention show a juvenile hormone-like controlling effeet and therefore ean be used in low eoncentrations for the control of a variety of insects belonging to Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, I 1 625~9 Diptera, Dictyoptera, Orthoptera, Homop~era, Hymenoptera and Aphaniptera in agricultural fields, forest lands, granaries, stored products and sanitary facilities, etc., of wh~ch specific examples are as follows:
1. Hemiptera:-smaller brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus), brown planthopper (~ E~ ), white-backed planthopper (Sogatella furcifera), green rice leafhopper (Nephotettix cincticePs), rice stink bug (Lagynotomus elongatus), common green stink bug (Nezara antennata), white-spotted bug (Eysarcaris _ntralis), green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii), cabbage aphid (srevicoryne brassicae), cottony cushion scale (Icerya purchasi), citrus mealy bug (Plano occus citrl), arrowhead scale (Unaspis yanonensis), etc.
2. Lepidoptera:~
to~acco cutworm (Spodoptera litura), rice stem borer (Chilo suppressalis), grass leaf roller (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis), wax moth (Galleria mellonella), diamond back moth (Pluttella xylostella), smaller tea tortrix (Adoxophves sp.), common white (Pieris rapae), cabbage army-worm (Mamestra brassicae), armyworm (Pseudaletia separate), etc.
3. Coleoptera:-- 2~ -~ 1 625~
varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus ~erbasci), lyctus powder-post beetle (Lyctus brunneus), rice leaf beetle (Onlema or~zae), rice plant weevil (Echinocnemus squameus), 28-spotted lady beetle (Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata), cupreous beetle (Anomala cuprea), japanese beetle (Popilla japonica), tobacco beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), etc.
4. Diptera:-housefly (Musca domestica), melon fly (Dacus cucurbitae), common mosquito (Culex pipiens pallens), yellow fever mosquito (~edes aegypti), malaria mosquito (Anopheles sp.), etcO
5. Dictyoptera:-German cockroach (Blattella germanica), smoky brown cockroach (Periplaneta fuliginosa), etc.
In practical application as insect control agents, the oxime ethers (I) are used in the form of appropriate compositions e.g. emulsifiable concentrates, dusts, granules, wettable powders, fine granules and aerosols, and the content of the oxime ethers (I) in such compositions is usually from about 0.1 to 99.9% by weight, preferably from about 2.0 to 80.0 % by weight.
~ he compositions can be formulated in per se conventional manners by mixing at least one of the oxime ethers (I) with an appropriate solid or liquid carrier(s) or diluent(s) with or without an appropriate I ~ ~2~9 adjuvant(s) (e.g. surfactants, adherents, dispersants, stabilizers) for improving the dispersibility and other properties of the active ingredient in use.
Examples of the solid carriers or diluents are clays (e.g. kaolin, bentonite, fuller's earth, pyrophyllite, sericite), talcs, other inorganic materials (e.g. hydrated silica, pumice, diatomaceous earth, sulfur powder, active carbon) in fine powders or powdery form.
Examples of the liquid carriers or diluents are alcohols (e.g. metha~ol, ethanol), ketones (e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone), ethers (e.g. diethyl ether, dioxane, cellosolve, tetrahydrofuran), aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g.
benzene, toluene, xylene, methylnaphthalene), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. gasoline, kerosene, lamp oil), esters, nitriles, acid amides (e.g. dimethylformamide, dimethyl-acetamide), halogenated hydroca~bons (e.g. dichloroethane, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride), etc.
Examples of the surfactants are alkylsulfates, alkylsulfonates, alkylarylsulfonates, polyethylene glycol ethers, polyhydric alcohol esters, etc. Examples of the adherents and dispersants may include casein, gelatin, starch powder, carboxymethyl cellulose, gum arabic, alginic acid, liqninsulfonate, bentonite, molasses, polyvinyl alcohol, pine oil and agar. PAP (isopropyl acid phosphates mixture), TCP (tricresyl phosphate), tolu oil, epoxydized oil, various surfactants, various fatty acids and their esters, etc., may be employed as the stabilizers.

Test Example 1 Pupae of the wax moth (Galleria mellonella) were collected within 20 hours from pupation. According to the Schneiderman's method (J. Insect Physiol., 11, 1641 (1965)), a puncture of about 1 mm2 was made in the right side of the thoracic dorsum of each pupa, and the wound was sealed with a predetermined amount of the test compound dissolved in a mixture of paraffin wax and peanut oil.
The medicated pupae were kept at 28C in a pyrostat.
The pupal cuticule i 1 62 5A 9 at the medicated part was peeled off before emer~ence, and observation was made to examine the formation of the pupal cuticule, from which the average rate of reaction to~the test compound was determined, and the dose of the test compound for 50 ~ inhibition of the metamorphosis (ID50) was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.
